EMMA

Two weeks had passed since the night Tristan was thrown out.

The new safe house was quieter than the last one with smaller rooms, fewer windows facing the road, and a kitchen that still smelled faintly of fresh paint. The move had been efficient and almost wordless. No one had wanted to talk about w hat happened, and no one mentioned Tristan’s name unless it was absolutely necessary. The silence surrounding his betrayal had become almost permanent, like an invisible wall we had all learne

  • My stepbrother and his friends want me    Chapter 70; Open doors

    EMMA The days after Cade stayed the night in my room did not suddenly become easy.I still woke from nightmares more often than I wanted to admit, sometimes with my heart pounding so hard it felt like it was trying to escape my chest. But the panic no longer followed me all the way into morning. It came, stayed for a while, and eventually loosened its grip. And when I opened my eyes, I was beginning to find things that reminded me I was here, not there.Sometimes Cade was already awake in the chair near the window, his head tilted against the backrest, pretending he hadn’t been watching over me. Other times I found Theo reading in the hallway outside my door, as if he had simply decided that particular patch of floor was the best place in the house to sit. Neither of them asked questions when I wasn’t ready for them. Neither demanded that I prove I was healing.They just stayed.And slowly, their presence stopped feeling like something I had to tolerate and started feeling like somet

  • My stepbrother and his friends want me    Chapter 69; Baby girl

    EMMAThe knock came in the late afternoon.I stared at the door for several seconds and somehow, I already knew who it was.Something inside me wanted to pretend I wasn’t there. Another part of me was tired of running from people simply because they reminded me of what I had lost.I pushed myself off the bed, crossed the room, and opened the door.Cade stood on the other side.For a moment, I barely recognized him.He looked exhausted. There were dark shadows beneath his eyes, his hair was messier than usual, and the hard confidence he normally carried seemed to have been stripped away. His shoulders were tense, but not with anger. They looked heavy, as though he had been carrying something for too long and was finally beginning to buckle beneath the weight of it.His eyes met mine.Whatever he saw on my face made something flicker across his.Pain.He looked away first and I stepped aside. He entered slowly and stopped near the middle of the room with me closing the door behind him a

  • My stepbrother and his friends want me    Chapter 68; Taking it back

    EMMATwo weeks had passed since the night Tristan was thrown out.The new safe house was quieter than the last one with smaller rooms, fewer windows facing the road, and a kitchen that still smelled faintly of fresh paint. The move had been efficient and almost wordless. No one had wanted to talk about w hat happened, and no one mentioned Tristan’s name unless it was absolutely necessary. The silence surrounding his betrayal had become almost permanent, like an invisible wall we had all learned to live around.The first few days had been the worst. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him. Not the Tristan who had betrayed me, but the Tristan I had trusted. The one who had made me laugh when I wanted to cry, who had sat beside me during sleepless nights, who had made me believe, even for a little while, that I had someone in my corner. My mind kept trying to put those two versions of him together, but they refused to fit.Eventually, the pain changed.It didn’t disappear. It simply stop

  • My stepbrother and his friends want me    Chapter 67; Exile

    TRISTANI woke to the smell of blood and whiskey.For a few seconds I stayed still, staring at the ceiling of the investigation room, trying to remember why my left arm felt like it was on fire. Then the night came back in pieces Cade’s fists, Emma’s face, the bottle against the wall, the glass in my hand. I pushed myself upright. A small, dark pool had dried on the floorboards beside the desk. My wrist was stiff and swollen, the cut crusted over.Shame hit me first. It was heavy and familiar.I had promised myself I would not go back to that place. Not after the last time. Not after I had sworn the worst of the grief was behind me. Yet here I was again, sitting in the same room surrounded by the same photographs, having opened the same door I thought I had locked for good.I cleaned the floor in silence, scrubbed the blood from the wood until only a faint stain remained, then went to the bathroom. The shower was so hot it hurt. I stood under it until the water ran clear and my skin

  • My stepbrother and his friends want me    Chapter 66; played

    TRISTAN My body hurt with every step.I pushed myself up from the gravel where Cade had thrown me and started walking. The gate closed behind me with a heavy finality that I felt in my chest more than I heard. For a moment, I stood there with my back to the house, staring at the closed gates and trying to convince myself that I could still turn around, that somehow I could explain everything well enough to make them understand.But there was nothing left to explain.I kept going, one foot in front of the other, even though every step sent pain through my ribs. Blood had dried at the corner of my mouth, and my body ached where Cade’s fists had landed, but none of it compared to the look on Emma’s face when Theo told her the truth.That was the part I couldn’t escape.The way she had looked at me.Like she didn’t recognize me anymore.Like every memory she had of me had suddenly become a lie.I reached the secondary road and found my car parked exactly where I had left it days earlier,

  • My stepbrother and his friends want me    Chapter 65; Details

    EMMAThe nightmare didn’t fade when I opened my eyes.I lay in the dark with my heart slamming against my ribs, the cell walls still pressed against the edges of my vision. For a few seconds, I couldn’t remember where I was. The darkness felt too much like that room, too close and too cold. Tristan’s voice kept overlapping with Victoria’s laugh and the sound of the door being kicked in. Every time I closed my eyes, I was back there. Every time I opened them, I expected to see concrete instead of my bedroom walls.I sat up, pushing the covers away before the next wave could pull me under again. My body felt heavy, but my mind wouldn’t slow down. I left the room without turning on the lights and made my way downstairs, needing somewhere that didn’t feel like it was closing in around me.The kitchen was empty and dimly lit. I filled a glass with water but didn’t drink it. Instead, I sat at the island with my elbows resting against the cold counter, staring at nothing. The silence should
